St. Louis Zoo Trip / CC?

[molongneck]

A couple of pics while visiting the St. Louis Zoo. These photos are straight from the camera, no pp. What do you think?

I think the elephant one could maybe use some PP, but both shots are very well composed, IMO. :thumbup:

I haven't purchased a program for that yet. I'm new to this digital stuff and trying to figure out which one to buy. Any ideas?

I love the Saint Louis Zoo i was gonna go there this weekend and take some photos with my new old Nikon D70
I like the blurred backround on the seal

Adobe is the standard (Photoshop or Lightroom) but can be pricey. There is a program that a lot of people here use called Gimp that I believe is free and can be downloaded. Google it

I downloaded GIMP, thanks for the info, and this is what I came up with. Just trying for some helpful pointers.

one pointer, try to go away from the thumbnails and go for a real picture. not too big, maybe 800x600 or somewhere in that area so everyone can see, the thumbnails get tedius. Nice captures thoguh.

Well I think I finally figured out how to post a real pic instead of a thumbnail. Kind of makes a fella fell stupid once you realize how easy it is.
